MOST WANTED: Black Krystle gown and evening jacket with jewel-tone embroidery

Krystle wore this gown and evening jacket to the only Carrington Christmas party in 9 years of "Dynasty."  The gown and jacket are made of (what I believe to be) black velvet with various jewel-tone embroidery and rhinestones in a leaf and vine pattern.  The gown has spaghetti straps.  The embroidery on this gown is gorgeous and very intricate.  I would also love to acquire this ensemble because I own the red beaded gown Alexis wore to the same party-- she wasn't invited of course, she crashed it!  It would be great to have both Krystle's & Alexis' gowns from that scene.

WANTED: If anyone has this costume, or any information on its whereabouts, please let me know!

My Collection: Red Krystle cocktail dress with black lace sequin appliques

This cocktail dress was worn by Linda Evans as Krystle Carrington on "Dynasty."

Linda wore this dress in episode 206 "The Wedding."

Krystle wears this dress in a scene with Blake in their master bedroom where she tells Blake the only way she will agree to renew their marriage vows is if he will agree to sign divorce papers.  Krystle's reason for this is because she is about to leave for an operation on a possibly fatal brain tumor that she has and wants Blake to be free to remarry if she does not survive the operation.  The second scene involves Krystle introducing Sable to the rest of the family for a formal dinner at the mansion.  This storyline was devised because Linda was ready to leave the show.  This season 9 storyline was grooming the way for Sable to possibly become a new romance for Blake in season 10, which never happened because the show was canceled.

This cocktail dress is off the shoulder, long sleeved, and has a knee-length, ruffled, full skirt.  The dress is made of a finely ribbed red fabric and has six buttons at each wrist also in this red fabric.  The neckline, front of the bodice, outside of each sleeve, and each pleat of the skirt are adorned with floral black lace appliques bordered in black sequins.  The edges of the lace at the neckline and the skirt extend slightly over the red fabric of the dress.  The inside of the dress has a built in corset.

WANTED: Black sequin floral lace Krystle gown

The original design of this gown is one of my top favorite Krystle gowns from "Dynasty".  Unfortunately it has been altered almost to the point of not being recognizable.  Because of this, it is no longer on my "Most Wanted" list.  The black floral lace exterior, trimmed in black reflective sequins, remains intact.  However, the original red satin slip has been removed and replaced by a nude satin slip, and the red satin sash has been discarded.  The gown in its altered form is very beautiful, and is actually more elegant and classic with the neutral nude colored slip.  However, now it is no longer a screen worn "Dynasty" costume and thus is less desirable of a piece.

WANTED: If anyone has this costume, or any information on its whereabouts, please let me know!

WANTED: Silver satin fur trimmed Krystle suit

This silver satin suit was worn in the "Dynasty" season 7 cliffhanger and beginning of season 8.  The end of season 7 marked the decline of the series, and that was greatly reflected on the costumes as well.  Season 8 is generally ruled as the worst season of Dynasty-- and the costumes match.  This suit is not the most memorable when compared to the other costumes and suits worn on the show, but it has some nice elements to it- including the silver satin material, the mink fur trim at the bottom of the jacket, and the oriental style jacket closure.  The fur trim at the bottom of the jacket is a unique and unusual touch.
